A few years later, Wade’s girlfriend Vanessa is murdered by mobsters, forcing him into a suicidal depression. But an encounter with the time-traveling mutant Cable—who comes from 50 years in the future to prevent his dystopian reality from coming to pass, by murdering a young mutant named Russell Collins who would go on to become a dangerous supervillain, Firefist—draws Wade back to action. After stopping Cable from killing Russell, and setting Russell on a path to stop him from becoming a supervillain in Cable’s time, Wade uses some of Cable’s repaired time travel technology to save Vanessa, and also murder Ryan Reynolds before he can make the superhero movie Green Lantern. (Deadpool 2)
